Should the SWAT mode include more weapons? Possibly just the rifles? (e.g. DMR, Light Rifle, Covenant Carbine) Or simply include all customizable loadouts? What do you guys think?
No, SWAT is plagued by the DMR IMO. The only thing I wouldn’t mind being added to SWAT would be the Carbine.
While the Carbine seems like a cool idea, it would be spammed way to much in Swat.
Light Rifle would probably work, as it’s pretty much a Forerunner Battle Rifle.
Honestly, I think it’s fine with the BR and DMR. The Carbine would probably be OP because it shoots so fast. The LightRifle might be fine, but I don’t see any reason someone would use it over the other weapons.
I think they should have just put in the BR and Magnum, but what are you gonna do?

I honestly also just want BR and pistol in the playlist.
Anyways with Carbine added to it, everyone would just use the Carbine and spamming it everywhere.
The Carbine would be ok, but the LR would be crazy overpowered in Swat if you spawned with it so if should be a pickup weapon only.

Are you sure you don’t have those two switched? How would the LR be OP if the Carbine isn’t?
SWAT Carbines is really, really fun and I think it would make a great gametype within the SWAT playlist or possibly Action Sack. But it’s the only weapon that should be added.

Agreed!
Despite being a Recovering DMR addict, I’d like to see BR/Magnum only SWAT option!

Because the LR is capable of both burst and single shot fire and has a good bit of range. Your saying the Carbine would be OP’d because it shoots fast.

Solution: Place it on the map for players to pick up. You know, like they did in previous games?
There could always be multiple gametypes in the SWAT list. For example SWAT LR, or SWAT Carbine.
SWAT is the battle field for DMR vs BR. It was a community war that I was looking forward to before H4 came out. DMR won (Maybe not on the best of terms) but after the weapon tuning I want to see how it play out again and see what happens.
Maybe have a separate game type you can vote for to have the Carbine vs LR.
Swat really has the potential for more game types like SWATguns and SWAT magnums.
Suppressor or bust.
I thought about this all the time since Reach. Why dont they have a Covie version of Swat and a Promethean version of swat. In the Covie one people use the Carbine and the Prome version they use the light rifle and so on. I think it would be cool for like Halo 5 to have a Human Swat and an Elite Swat where you play as Elites and use the Covenant Carbine and Needle Rifle. It would be Similar to Elite Slayer in Reach.

As long as they bring Elites and the Needle Rifle back, I’ll be happy! That weapon was great! I miss Elite Slayer. 
Carbine and LightRifle, man.
I think they should have rocket launchers and stuff that would be neat and maybe needlers as well those would be cool and promethean grenades and jetpacks - also unlim ammo is just stupid why not do bottomless mag? SWAT has a lot of potential but its just like so new and stuff its not in any of the other games so they’re still trying to figure it out.

Because I don’t like the BR and don’t want to usr the DMR
